"To Keep Old Glory From The Flame"
Frank Exum and I wrote this song and have been trying to find a method for its use in order to generate funds for disabled veterans and/or the kids of our fallen heroes from the battlefield. We desire to sign over the writers royalties to benefit "the military guys and gals" in the hospital beds and the spouses and children who have lost loved ones in the war on terror. "If we get enough copies of this song out into the public awareness, then someone may hear it. Frank and I don't care who gets the credit for the song as long as any funds generated by it goes to one of the veteran support groups. The Wounded Hero Fund, would be fine with us." I served two hitches in the Army- 1970/1980; Frank in the Navy, during the same time frame. I came home without a scratch, as did my friend. "We believe this is the right thing to do. We believe our song has merit and might be a vehicle for helping some folks out."
Best Regards,
